"Libertarianism is an appealing idea if you hold human agency and freedom above all else. However, it has its weaknesses. Freedom is certainly worth having, but at what cost?"

The author wrongly asserts that conservatives want to limit personal freedom and that liberals promote personal freedom. This claim is pure horseshit. Conservatives are merely liberal lite, and both crush personal liberty in deference to the worship of the state.

People mistake words for reality, and get jammed up in mental servitude to their idols.

Now take Libertarianism and its words. They are just words. They claim to believe this and that and to promote this and that. But if you look at the operations of their political party, and their different chapters among the states, you see the same bullshit we find in the Democrat and Republican parties.

Libertarians suffer from the same rings of power syndrome that afflicts people who claim other political ideologies. What they say on the surface would never be implemented in real life once they seized the political machinery. It's all just words with no substance, just like almost everything said by liberals and conservatives is just words without substance.

The author states:

"Liberals do this by limiting the ability of some to gain disproportionate power over the group and exploiting that power for their own ends. "

Conservatives obsess with obtaining economic power over others. They mobilize economic pressure to force others to submit to their will. Yet in recent years the liberals have taken this cue and added that tactic to their arsenal of tricks for forcing people and nations into submission.

The political factions want power to rule, plain and simple. They will use whatever words they think are effective in manufacturing your consent to their power over you. Whether they are liberal, conservative, or libertarian, their main goal is to have the power of the state and its police and armies to regulate your life as they see fit. There is no love in what they do. You, your vote, your labor, your taxes are just a means to an end and nice-sounding policies and ideologies are bait for the trap.
